In the Sunlight is a 1915 American silent short drama film directed by Thomas Ricketts starring David Lythgoe, Vivian Rich, and Harry von Meter.

As reported in a film magazine,[1] Dr. Arthur Abbott has a drug addiction and leaves his country practice for a more conspicuous career in the city, and Frank Steed, a physician from the slums, takes his place in the village.

With his drug habit growing, he loses his prestige and, after he has spent all his money, Olga no longer cares for him.

Months later, on the day before their wedding, Abbott, who has recovered from an injury received in the train wreck and whose morphine addiction has gotten worse, wanders near his home and sees his wife in her lover's arms.

After the marriage Steed and Helen leave the village, with its darkened unhappy memories, for the sunshine of the open country.
